“Never again: that means that there must be no brutal war of aggression in Europe like that waged by Russia against Ukraine”

Russia’s attack on Ukraine has “destroyed the foundations of our European security order,” President of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier said during the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. “Yet we Germans have learned the lessons from our past. Never again: that means that there must be no brutal war of aggression in Europe like that waged by Russia against Ukraine. Never again: that means that we stand firmly by the side of Ukraine — together with Poland and our other allies,” Steinmeier said. He said that Germany is providing Ukraine with humanitarian, political and military support together with allies. “Never again: that means that we, the liberal democracies, are strong when we act together and in unity,” Steinmeier stressed.
